He was clearly a man with refined manners. But I'd been around long enough to know the man I met in my doorway was never the man that'd be screwing me a few minutes later. After a word or two of small talk about his law firm, his tongue was down my throat and his arms pinned me against the wall. \"What do you want, Victoria?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe'd be shocked to know an honest answer. \u003cem\u003eWhat I want is a stack of crisp hundred-dollar bills, an eight ball of coke and a couple bottles of Chardonnay. \u003c\/em\u003eBut I learned early that when clients ask this question they mean something specific. They're looking for me to figure out what \u003cem\u003ethey\u003c\/em\u003e want. They need me to decide what'll get them off without them having to say it out loud. What I really wanted was a big life, a life the size of Texas--one of adventure and success far away from that little Ohio town my family seemed to accept without much of a fight. One that my parents said I'd never escape. But that wasn't something Howard would ever give me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough my moonlighting, I learned to figure out my clients' (often odd) desires on the fly while concealing my own dreams, secrets, and addictions. At turns comedic, tragic, gritty and erotic, \u003cem\u003eVictoria of Dallas\u003c\/em\u003e explores male desire through the stories of client encounters in vignettes after every chapter, as well as the desires of myself and how I finally learn in middle age who I really am. My memoir is inspirational and gives hope through the challenges I faced and overcame. The story takes you through my childhood in a small Ohio town to life as a Dallas call girl to life on the road and ultimately to Italy to discover what is most important to me and whom I really am.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Victoria McCormick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1732307601\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781732307605\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Badass Cat Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Victoria McCormick","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43937890992383,"sku":"9781732307605","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c0900e74-d4da-47e7-9a2d-8a5842c30e24.jpg?v=1681432519","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/victoria-of-dallas-victoria-mccormick-9781732307605","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
